Adware SE Personal, HijackThis, and SpyBot are all great programs to use on a regular basis. Spybot and Adaware will take care of most of the problems but HJT is the more powerful of the 3. If you're going to use HJT, get someone who knows how to read the log file to advise you before "fixing" anything as you could render your computer useless. A net search for Adaware and Spybot will lead you to the free downloads.

If you're using XP, cleaning out your prefetch folder and turning off a few unneeded services will also help you speed things up. XP is a resource hog for sure.
